CVE-2019-15845

Ruby versiones hasta 2.4.7, versiones 2.5.x hasta 2.5.6 y versiones 2.6.x hasta 2.6.4, maneja inapropiadamente la comprobación de ruta dentro de las funciones File.fnmatch.

A flaw was discovered in Ruby in the way certain functions handled strings containing NULL bytes. Specifically, the built-in methods File.fnmatch and its alias File.fnmatch? did not properly handle path patterns containing the NULL byte. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to make a Ruby script access unexpected files and to bypass intended file system access restrictions.

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to pass path matching what can lead to an unauthorized access. It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain regular expressions. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain HTTP headers. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
